Configuring Layer 3 (Interface) Mode
To assign an IP address, use the following commands.

INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
• Configure a primary IP address and mask on the interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
The ip-address must be in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D) and the mask must be in slash format (/
xx).
Add the keyword secondary if the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address.

addresses on a single interface.
To view all interfaces to see with an IP address assigned, use the show ip interfaces brief

To view IP information on an interface in Layer 3 mode, use the show ip interface command in
